Preparation
This product can biodegrade many types of natural organic materials including petroleum products, however, it does not degrade dirt, rust, plastics, metals, etc. often found in oil/grease stains. In most situations the best results are obtained by removing the surface dirt and oil accumulation using a cleaner like SB 2790 Con-D-Soil followed by the application of SB 2351 BUGS to degrade the penetrated oils.
Remove all dry materials from the surface. If there is a heavy deposit of grease or other contaminant, it should be scraped to expose the hard surface.
Dilution and Coverage
Dilution: 0 to 4 parts water to 1 part product — test application recommended
Coverage: Dependent upon substrate and other conditions
Application
SB 2351 BUGS is used at a 1:1 dilution ratio for most applications. For some light contaminations, SB 2351 can be diluted with up to 4 parts water. A test area must be done, prior to the start of all projects, to determine the proper dilution ratio. In most cases, application by low-pressure spray, avoiding atomization, is preferable to ensure complete saturation of the surface. In other situations, brush or mop application is acceptable. Allow the dilute solution to remain on the surface for 20 to 30 minutes. Reapply the solution to any area that begins to dry out during the reaction period. NOTE: repeated use on asphalt may result in the lightening of the surface and the need to reseal more often.
Horizontal surfaces may be either scrubbed and rinsed or pressure washed to remove the surface contaminants. Vertical surfaces should be pressure rinsed from bottom to top. De- pending upon conditions, this procedure may require repeating or it is possible to top dress the area with an additional application of the dilute SB 2351 and allow the treatment to dry into the surface for additional remediation.
Do not apply to a frozen surface. Freezing of an active application will not kill all bacteria. When the surface returns to temperatures above freezing the activity will restart. A renewal application may be required to keep peak efficiency. Steam cleaning will kill some but not all bacteria. Again, a renewal application may be necessary if steam cleaning is required as part of the maintenance process. Store all containers in a cool, dry facility.
